From a press release issued by Team Hammer, Inc.:

Team Hammer, Inc. has signed M4 Performance Exhausts as a new primary title sponsor and will race as Team M4 EMGO Suzuki during the 2005 and 2006 AMA seasons.

M4 is based in Dallas, Texas and has been an associate sponsor of the team since 1999.

“We at M4 are extremely excited about the 2005 racing season and our stepped-up involvement with Team Hammer,” said M4 Vice President Kyle Martin. “We believe we can make an important contribution toward a winning season for Team Hammer and we’re proud to be associated with the only professional motorcycle road racing team in America that’s been racing continuously for 25 consecutive seasons.”

M4 replaces Valvoline, which has elected to concentrate its racing-related promotional activities in NASCAR.

EMGO International, a manufacturer and importer of oil filters, continues as the team’s secondary title sponsor. EMGO has been involved with Team Hammer since the team was founded.

Team Hammer has won two AMA National Championships, five F-USA National Championships, and 13 WERA National Endurance Championships.
